OBI-992 TROP2 ADC has been granted by US FDA to proceed to Phase I/II human clinical trial

1.Date of occurrence of the event:2024/01/03
2.New drug name or code: OBI-992 TROP2 ADC
3.Indication:
OBI-992 is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) for cancer treatment that is based on TROP2 to target cancer cells. ADC releases a small molecule payload
through the specificity of the antibody and directly deploys cytotoxic molecule at the targeted cancer cells. Antibody that is linked with a
payload binds to the targets on tumor cells followed by entering into cells via internalization. The small molecule payload will then be released through
enzymatic cleavage to achieve the goal of killing tumor.

Inc. under the terms of the license agreement.
7.Market situation:
According to GlobalData, the global market for ADC therapies in oncology is projected to be US$ 9.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach over US$ 36
billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.5%. While OBI-992 is intended to target unmet medical needs where a meaningful
clinical benefit to the patients is identified, advancement of OBI-992 in further studies will be determined eventually as part of the development
strategy for the entire OBI pipeline.
